Why Peter Obi Quit ADC and How an Obi-Kwankwaso Alliance Could Defeat Tinubu
Adding fresh insight to the 2027 contest, journalist Rufai Oseni told Arise TV this morning that Peter Obi’s departure from the ADC wasn’t driven by court cases but by internal power struggles. He says Atiku Abubakar’s faction effectively hijacked the party, triggering the mass defections by Obi and Kwankwaso. Oseni’s account suggests the ADC structure was tilting toward an Atiku/Makinde alignment rather than an Obi/Kwankwaso ticket. This shift in party blocs explains why Obi walked away despite ongoing litigation. Looking ahead, a joint Obi-Kwankwaso ticket under a new coalition could merge South-East loyalty with Kano’s formidable political machinery. Analysts warn the alliance must still navigate challenges such as national spread, funding gaps, and elite negotiations. With these internal realignments, Nigeria’s race for the presidency is far more dynamic than before. The battle for 2027, it seems, has already begun.
